Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Postfix Logs

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

James,

per default syslog-ng is active, not syslog.
You'll have to edit the file /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf and simply  
uncomment the 2 lines for /var/log/messages.
This will log all messages, not just mail.

You could also simply check on console 10 for postfix messages ( alt F10 ).

You can use the mailq command to see if the mail is still hanging in  
the queue.
